What “VIOL BOND/PROTECTIVE ORDER 2+ PREV CONV IAT” means

Texas Penal Code § 25.07 makes it an offense to knowingly or intentionally violate a protective order, a magistrate's order for emergency protection, or a safety-related condition of bond set in a family violence, child abuse or neglect, sexual assault or abuse, indecent assault, stalking, or trafficking case. Prohibited acts include committing family violence; communicating with a protected individual in a threatening or harassing manner, or at all where the order bars communication; going near the protected person's residence, workplace, or a protected child's school; possessing a firearm; harming a protected person's pet or assistance animal; tampering with a GPS monitor; and tracking or following the protected person. The base offense is a Class A misdemeanor; this charge is the § 25.07(g)(2)(A) variant, a third-degree felony requiring proof that the defendant has previously been convicted two or more times under § 25.07 or § 25.072, or once under each.
